Abstract

An adjustable tethering system is disclosed that includes a primary line, a secondary line, and a capsule. The secondary line is wound about the primary line to form a frictional locking arrangement that resists translation of the secondary line along the primary line when the secondary line is tensioned. The capsule can be manipulated by a user to selectively release the frictional engagement between the primary and secondary lines, thereby enabling controlled transition of the system from a secured state to a state in which the secondary line can translate along the primary line.
